I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 58

-By the way, I'm intrigued about the prophecy you mentioned to us, I don't think it's reliable, because let me tell you that we are from another world, we are some versions of Estiben, Leonidas' assistant.

-We know everything, they say that Leonidas died of mysterious causes, something more common than dying of smallpox, now that Estiben is the king's magician, if you are friends that could be of great importance to us. -Wait, Simon is saddling the donkey before he grabs it, he hasn't even asked us if we consider his cause," Yací interrupts him while we are unmoored.

-I was hoping that you would agree, demonstrating in this way that you are the chosen ones, look at the prophecy, it is written here on this parchment, I will read it to you:

"from the other side of the mirror

From an old world

A pair of lovers will arrive

Of similar countenances They will help the afflicted Dethroning the outlaws."

It's very clear, you are.

-And what should we do, I suppose that if we change the king, things would improve, if there was someone who would improve their education and technology, if not, we would only change tyrants, -I comment annoyed because I only think of replaceing a way to leave this place, not to start a liberating campaign.

-Mr. Estiben, you surely have magic, which can easily change our environment. -Simon moves his hands as if he were drawing a rainbow in the air.

-That is one of the problems of the people, to suppose that everything will be solved easily as if by magic, when what one has to do is to work, if it is possible that one gets a stroke of luck that catapults one to success, but we have to learn to work without counting on this, we even have to work in the misfortunes and calamities, we have to be like the fish Kui that went up the waterfall and transformed into a dragon," I explain and I feel like a politician to see how they all pay attention to me with their mouths open. -Well Mr. Estiben anyway, we were already advancing our plans, we have filled the palace with our collaborators, every maid and servant collaborate with us, hoping for a better tomorrow.

-Then they have everything ready, I don't know why it was necessary for them to kidnap us, killing innocent guards," I reproach him without measuring my words that could provoke his fury.

-Well, because of the prophecy, that will give us more credibility to our cause, as for the guards, those are collateral damages," Simon answers, with the cynicism of the leaders.

-So they already have the king's replacement ready, it must be you, right," Yací questioned him.

-Of course I am the leader, I replaced the old boss Felipe, who died of herpes.

-Simon, when you die, will your sons or your second in command replace you," Yací questioned him.

-It is a delicate matter, then we will analyze what is the best thing to do, something that will not result in bloodshed.

-It will surely be a problem, it won't be long before someone gets tired of something and revolts against your group when you are ruling.

-That's true, that's why democracy works, it gives people the option to blame their current rulers with the possibility of choosing their opponents next time, which can even be private friends and public enemies, right don Estiben?

Everything is possible, that's why it is necessary to have control organisms or anti-fraud measures, it is a complete organism, the state, Mr. Simon.

-In the end it is similar to the king's court, the difference would be in the costs of the elections, the wear and tear of the change of power, it is not lacking that the current president destroys what the previous one did, besides the constant change of the laws to favor the sponsors.

I wish I could debate those ideas, I just remember the bailouts of public or banking entities, the corruption scandals that often ended with a prisoner in a luxurious jail.

-You are right, the problem is not to choose our regents, but how they behave, maybe a system of a council of wise elders would be more appropriate, Mr. Simon.

-In that, if I disagree, it is not fair that someone who deprived himself of things, who worked or studied without descent, who focused, has to keep and another who chose to spend his time and money, mostly in vices, it is not fair that innocent people are beaten for sinners.

-You won't be able to agree, if you continue like this you could get caught in a fist fight, you better tell us don Simon, how can we help you," interrupted Yací, bored with the skating conversation.

-Simple, in a few moments the slaves of the palace will let us enter the castle, we will take the king prisoner where he will have to sign his abdication, and when the bishop arrives, he will have to legitimize us if he wants to continue in this town with all his privileges that the clergy has.

-What are we waiting for, take us away, come on Simon, let's overthrow this government, let's change the owner of the slaves or better we will free them by giving them a small salary, which will not be enough for their sustenance and even more when we put them in need, we will invent a thousand useless artifacts full of shine and festivities where they will have to show their feelings by spending their savings, I can already see it will be a paradise.

-Wait you two, this could be the opportunity to forge a utopia, we must plan a government of the people and mainly improve education so that people learn to choose on their own and not because they are bombarded with advertising, gifts and psychological techniques," interjected Dr. Yací, who seemed more and more beautiful to me.

-Well, let's get to work, let's go in these wagons, we will arrive at the palace in a short time, please say that you are the ones of the prophecy and that you choose us to change the kingdom.

-Yes, of course, yes sir, we only need you to respect our lives and my friends, and also to give us access to the laboratories or whatever it is called where we can create gadgets, like a smithy or something like that," Estiben negotiated, thinking of creating a device that would produce electricity from the furnaces where they melt the steel.

-We also need you to improve our civilization, as much as you can, share with us your knowledge, your technology, your magic, your art, and all your knowledge, be our stream of light that illuminates our thoughts and takes us out of this dark, medieval age.
